Principal Investigator(s):
ABC News

Summary:

This special topic poll sought the views of New York City
residents on the upcoming 1997 New York City mayoral election.
Respondents were asked to give their opinions of Mayor Rudolph
Giuliani and his policies and to comment on whether their quality of
life had changed since Giuliani took office in January 1994. Those
queried were asked for whom they would vote, given Republican
candidate Giuliani and possible Democratic candidates Fernando
Ferrer, Ruth Messinger, Al Sharpton, and Sal Albanese. Respondents
were asked which of the following problems presented the greatest
challenge to the city of New York: crime, the job market, the
economy, race relations, education, poverty, housing, or changes in
the welfare system. An additional question addressed the 1993 New
York City mayoral election between Republican candidate Giuliani and
Democratic candidate David Dinkins. Background information on
respondents includes age, race, ethnicity, sex, education, political
party, political orientation, religion, voter registration and
participation history, and family income.
